Blackberry Pie - Hardcover

Rosie Peters has always felt like a girl caught between the lines of a storybook. Raised by three great-aunts in the small town of Harpersgrove, Maryland, while working at Hap-PIE-ly Ever After, the pie shop that's always felt like home. But when her estranged mother dies suddenly, everything unravels. The father she's never met shows up out of nowhere at the funeral. Fashion school starts to feel like a fantasy meant for someone braver. And even her strongest friendships with the girls at the shop begin to fracture under the weight of grief, change, and things that should never have been said.

Beneath it all, something darker stirs, a feeling Rosie can't shake, like deep dark water rising up her body, waiting to pull her under. Everyone tells her Joshua, the boy who makes Rosie's heart sing, telling her everything she wants to hear, might be another riptide. But Rosie isn't sure she can let go of the only thing keeping her afloat.

As secrets begin to break the surface and everything familiar slips through her fingers, Rosie must decide whether to be the person everyone has always known or rewrite the story on her own terms.

Touched with modern fairytale magic, Blackberry Pie is a story about loss, love, and learning to believe you're strong enough to save yourself.
